   Right-handed ... but I only recently read that left-handers live an
average of nine years less ... oh well, quality over quantity I suppose

I actually always wanted to be ambi-dexterous ... I had an uncle who
was born left-handed but who was forced to be right-handed (They did
that sort of stupid thing in the 1950s) ... in the end though it helped
him cos he played field hockey in three Olympics and was famous was his
dribbles in which he could shift the stick from right to left hand and
back!

	There is an old saying: "If the left side of the brain controls the right side of the body, and the right side of the brain controls the left side of the body, then only left-handed people are in their right minds." Chalk one up for another southpaw...me. Peace.

	I've only got one third of the use of my left hand - that probably explains why I'm so dim

	Inspired by the "left or right" politics thread, I am asking you this important question. About 8% of world population is left-handed. Statistically speaking, left-handed people have higher IQ. Universally accepted, prog is music for the brain. So, a priori, a forum for prog-enthusiasts should have a higher amount of left-handed individuals than the rest of the world. Oh, and by the way, don't take me seriously. And yes, I'm left-handed
